Moscow and Kyiv Remain Far from Ceasefire; Trump Deepens Transatlantic Rift

Mehr News Agency, International desk – Azar Mahdavan: ⁣While⁤ former U.S. President ​Donald Trump claims he will bring ‌the ninth peace to the world by ending the Russia-Ukraine war,‍ many analysts believe that a ceasefire ​remains far off for both countries. In recent years, the Russia-Ukraine conflict has⁣ become one of​ global politics’ foremost⁤ challenges.

Trump is trying to end this conflict but has ​yet to achieve‌ his goals. Recently,after intense talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy,he decided not ‍to provide Ukraine with ‍Tomahawk missiles-which could‌ significantly bolster Ukraine’s defense capabilities.This shift signals that Trump is⁤ not only aiming to strengthen his international hegemony but also seeks to fulfill his interests ‍in dealings with both Russia and ‍Ukraine.

Mehr reporter conducted an interview on ⁣this⁢ topic with Merve⁢ Suna, professor of International Relations at Kirikkale University ⁢in Turkey; ⁣the full interview ‍follows:

Trump is attempting to end the russia-Ukraine war, but‌ Kyiv remains skeptical. How far are russia and‍ Ukraine ​from a ceasefire?

Trump’s efforts should not be simply seen as a “peace-driven” approach; rather, they represent ⁣an ⁣initiative grounded in ⁤deeper strategic principles.

As returning politically prominent roles, Trump‌ has worked hard⁣ to craft an image of himself as a leader who brings peace to the international system. He pursues this goal ​relentlessly-recall how he hosted​ Zelenskyy in the ​oval Office-an image still ⁣remembered vividly.

this portrayal shows that Trump views this process not only as ⁣diplomatic ‍peacemaking but also as​ a showcase for bolstering ‍his leadership dominance. Thus, his identity​ should not be reduced solely to that ⁤of ⁣a peace envoy.His approach ⁢aligns with norms regarding national territorial integrity-one ​of the‍ United Nations’ core principles.

Simply put, Trump’s ⁢relationship with Putin‍ seeks realistic balance based on mutual interests; he prioritizes conditions ⁢Moscow demands at negotiations. Thus, ⁤Trump’s attempts​ at resolving the war should be interpreted⁣ not ‍just as diplomatic discourse but also as efforts toward repositioning himself at center stage within global power⁢ dynamics.

Under ‌these circumstances, achieving a ceasefire⁢ does not appear straightforward. Russian ​demands include official ‌recognition​ of parts of Ukrainian⁤ territory currently under Russian control and guarantees against‌ Ukrainian ⁤membership in NATO or other ‌military ⁣alliances.

These terms create an unacceptable‍ framework‌ for Kyiv.Although limited‌ ceasefire⁢ attempts have occurred before without lasting success-notably mere signatures are ⁤insufficient-field monitoring by involved parties ‍along with effective enforcement mechanisms are essential; otherwise‌ any ceasefire remains only symbolic⁣ on ‍paper.

Zelenskyy⁣ requested Tomahawk missiles from ​Trump during his visit on⁢ October​ 17th-but trump did ⁣not respond positively-and ‍Moscow had already warned Washington regarding this issue beforehand. Could it be that Trump uses restrictions‍ intending to pressure Zelenskyy into signing ⁤agreements?

Zelenskyy’s relationship with Washington shifted notably during ⁢Trump’s​ tenure‌ compared with Biden’s ‍near​ unconditional support for Ukraine.

The reduction in support-including Trump’s critical remarks ‌about Zelenskyy-has caused strategic divides and weakened Europe’s ‍position somewhat. Nonetheless,trump failed⁤ to see responsive actions expected from ‍Putin which highlights how challenging attaining desired outcomes is amid Russo-Ukrainian conflicts.Instead of overt military aid trump turned more toward diplomatic pressure and restrictions
